Winter Life

We've been having a lot of fun this winter! 
Our whole family went ice skating in January, and we did pretty well :)


The kids have been extra motivated to practice their instruments because of a reward. If they practiced 6 out of 7 days a week in January they got to have an ice cream from Wendy's. This month, they are aiming for 10 minutes a day, 6 days a week, and will be getting Chickfila! :)  Of course, I'm also benefiting from this ... but I also have to listen to the practicing ;)





We got to celebrate 2 birthdays in January. My nephew turned 10 and we spent a fun day with them. The cousins always have a great time together.  Kevin's dad and brother came to visit and we celebrated Grandpa turning 72!



We've also been doing a bunch of normal life things - watching a show after the kids are in bed...


doing puzzles...playing games after dinner...packing lunches and doing crafts...reading...

Camping Trips #2 and #3

At the beginning of August, we went on a camping trip with my immediate family. We had great campsites, right next to each other, and had fabulous weather. Chloe had a great time hanging out with her Aunt Laura, Uncle Bill, and Aunt Michelle: She also loved my dad's cell phone ringtone: Who says you can't eat great food while you're camping? Check out our dinner feast on Saturday night....Corn on the cob, cheeseburgers, grilled pineapple: Chloe had her first taste of the "beach" when we went to the lake one day. It was the first time she was in the sand, and I think she really liked it! When looking back at the camping pictures, I realized that Chloe wore a lot of hats on this trip: We got back from a Cousins Camping Trip on Sunday night. (Almost) All my cousins got together for the weekend and we had a great time. Another camping trip with good campsites and this time we just had okay weather. It rained Saturday night so everything was a bit soggy on Sunday ...
